15 Greatest Athlete Mic Drops on Twitter of All Time

Floyd Mayweather Jr — Athletes are usually nice people who want to interact with fans in order to show improve their public relations and show that they are human just like anybody else.

Kyle Long Bears — The Chicago Bears had barely finished beating the Green Bay Packers when Bears right tackle Kyle Long found a tweet (now deleted) from @PatKinnane that said that Long wanted every Bears game on FOX so that his dad (Howie Long) and the other announcers would continue to be his “cheerleaders.” Unfortunately for @PatKinnane, the announcers weren’t the only cheerleaders Long had.

7. Johnny Manziel vs. Colin Ratz

Johnny Manziel Browns — Many across the nation believed that Johnny Manziel was no fluke when he played for Texas A&M. But one “fan” believed Manziel’s year was a fluke, and didn’t believe in “Johnny Football” himself.

Colin Kaepernick 49ers — Colin Kaepernick declined last season (and continued to do so this season), but he tweeted that would try to get better this past offseason.

4. Joel Embiid vs. LeBron James

Joel Embiid 76ers

4. Joel Embiid vs. LeBron James

1. Rudy Gobert vs. Majin Buu

Rudy Gobert Jazz

Rudy Gobert Jazz — It’s natural for big men who go for block shots to get dunked on every now and then. But one Twitter person tried to troll Rudy Gobert and make it seem worse than it was. Gobert would then crush this troll the same way Gobert got crushed when he was dunked on. The troll’s likeness to a Dragon Ball Z character didn’t help either.
